Questions answered? Let's get started!

Record the affidavit under the Nebraska Probate 30-24,129 to transfer a decedent's real property without probate when certain criteria are met. The affidavit must be recorded in each county in which the real property described within the affidavit is located, along with a certified copy of the decedent's death certificate.

The affiant, or person executing the affidavit, is the successor in interest to the decedent's real property described in the affidavit, or an agent legally acting on the successor's behalf.

Statutory requirements stipulate that the affidavit state that total value of the decedent's real estate interests is $50,000.00 or less; thirty (30) days have passed since the decedent's death, as evidenced by a certified copy of the death certificate; there is no personal representative or pending petition for appointment of a personal representative; the successor is entitled to receive the property through a homestead, exempt property, or family allowance, or by devise or intestate succession; the successor has made an investigation and was unable to determine a subsequent will; and no other person has a right to the interest of the subject property. In addition, the successor's relationship to the decedent, the total value of the decedent's estate, and a complete legal description of the subject parcel is required. Each successor in interest to the subject property must sign the affidavit in the presence of a notary public.

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me. Otherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I purchased the La St. Tammany Parish Quit Claim Deed as a gift for a friend. Currently waiting on a lawyer to draft his second version of what a La Quit Claim should look like. I have downloaded this St. Tammany La packet for simplicity and double protection for my friend. So far, I really like what I see from Deeds.com, short and to the point. It's truly a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much. Layperson Cathy for a friend.

The deeds.com website is incredibly easy to navigate and the nearly instantaneous chat function allowed me to quickly correct an entry error I made uploading a document. The day after enrolling and uploading the document I had a copy of the document properly filed. Very efficient; very effective.
